the otfics Of president. Dr.. Mccoy nonli.
mated DR.. Pipes, Que OF his colleagues, and

declined To be a candidate and made Dr..

Republicans but Mr.. Isett voting ior him,
and the Democrats with Mr.. 1sstt for Mr..

Prof. W. H. Anderson, the present cftici-
ent incumbent, WAS unanimously re-slec.-
ed to the position and tho Bosra then ad-
journel. s.
The election OF Mr.. Hall was in the ma
ture OF surprise to number Of the
membere. He is con Of J. Il. Hall, Of
this city, recent graduate OF the Uaiver-
sity OF Virginia, and has jus. been
admitted to the bar here. He is Demo.
crat and the amnsirg spectacle was pre-
scented Of Republicans voting for Demo.
crst to down Democrat. A. the same
time, it is conceded on oil hands that Mr..
! Hall possesses eminent qualifications for
tie position, and predicted that he will
make model clerk.
Dr.. Pipes election to the ofice Of Preai-
dent is one tina. gives general satisfaction.
The Doctor is an accomplished, genial
gentleman, thoroughly awake to the i'm.
por,ancs Of the school work in this city
and who, in the long number Of years
hs has been in the Board, has always
been one Of its mos. valuable members.
He hes good progressive ideas, and his
elevation to the CHAIR is an honor that his
services were em;nent!y deserving Of.
